"I arrived to miss my wife and child, let's check your pregnant brother wants to see Brother's son here" Khalid pointed to Syafina's stomach.

Syafina looked into her husband's eyes, and she saw that he seemed to really want to accompany her to get pregnant. And that's what he wants anyway.

"Yes, come on" Syafina smiled gently.

"Well, my brother Ashar used to be", Khalid kissed his wife's forehead.

Completed Khalid's Ashar prayer they both immediately set out to check for pregnancy at the Diandra doctor's practice.

There they are forced to stay because many patients have already registered first. As long as Khalid's queue holds his wife's hand, he wishes her a healthy baby.

"How old is your pregnancy ? "

"It should have been in 8 weeks, brother will accompany me in?"

"Dear dear, my brother just can't wait to see what our child is like"

Soon after Syafina's name was called, they both went inside. Khalid felt deg degan, while Syafina was ordinary, she was glad her husband could accompany her to the pregnancy check. Doctor Diandra explained the development of Syafina's pregnancy, and answered all Khalid's questions.

Khalid was very enthusiastic to hear the explanation of the doctor Diandra. then the doctor Diandra prescribed vitamins for pregnant women.

After completing the recipe Khalid and Syafina got into the car to return home.

"Nothing else is Fin looking for? what to buy pregnant milk ?"

"No, there's still milk come home yok bang, daar again magrib.

But when they passed by the food vendors on the roadside, Khalid felt sorry for them, their wares were still plentiful while the dark sky of the wind was getting strong as if it was going to rain. There were four food carts there.

Khalid pulled his car over, thinking for a moment what he wanted to buy.

"What yes.., it's a fry there batagor. I don't like it less. I used to love it, since I was pregnant I don't like it anymore".

"Again out" Khalid opened his car door. Syafina nodded.

There were two merchants selling fried foods, one selling batagor, and the other selling Egyptian martabak. Khalid bought all their merchandise. He asked the merchant to wrap it up.

"Pack wrap it all up, I'm the same wife praying first in the mosque there, later after my prayer back here". Khalid said to the merchant there.

"What's right, sir, these four carts? didn't you come back here? "

"True, I paid this first" Khalid handed me some red notes. One of the merchants accepted it.

"Okay sir, we're wrapping"

"Yes, I'm going to the mosque for a while" Khalid then got back in his car.

"Not buying a bang?" ask Syafina

"So, we went to the mosque first to pray, after that was just picked up here again" then they both went to pray to the mosque that was not far from there.

After finishing the day prayer start drizzling. Khalid and Shafina returned to the food merchant. Khalid paid for the rest, and the merchants lifted Khalid's groceries into the car and put him in the backseat.

"The truth is you buy this much?"

"Hemm" Khalid nodded."

"You're given the same who bang, a lot of this"

"Follow it, you'll know" Khalid then drove back to the mosque where they were praying magrib.

"Why come here again bang? " Tanya Syafina did not understand.

"We share the food with pilgrims who pray here, they are residents around here there are also from traders who sell around here. In this mosque there are also many children who learn to read the Quran"

"Oh that, I'm helping you share, bang?"

"Let's just pray first"

Outside still drizzling, Khalid and Syafina got out of the car waiting for the isya time. After finishing the prayer Khalid told the mosque manager to hold people back first to go home. Then Khalid called for help with the marbot to pick up the food in the car.

"Sir, please help me lift this food in, want to be distributed to worshippers and children in the mosque".

Khalid and Syafina, aided by the mosque's marbot, distributed the food in two packages for one person.

All the worshippers in the mosque thanked Khalid and Syafina.

"Thank you, buk. May the rizki ibuk father smoothly and blessed with many children" said a father middle-aged father.

"Aamiin" said Khalid and Syafina.

"Thank you for the prayer sir" Khalid continued, smiling.

After distributing the food, Khalid wanted to say goodbye to the mosque manager to go home.

"Aamin"khalid and Syafina agree.

"My wife and I went home sir, when will we pray here again. assalamualaikum"

"Waalaikumsalam".the imam of the mosque drove Khalid and shafina out, outside the rain began to fall rather heavily.

Khalid protected his wife's head with a jacket he wore to get into the car. Then they passed by their car.

The imam of the mosque looked at their car until it disappeared from his sight.

"Young, handsome and pretty. Rarely are there young people who want alms, may their sustenance be smooth, the household is protected by God".

On the way to the house where Shafina had fallen asleep, Khalid turned to his wife.

"It's actually very easy to make you happy Fin, I'm just insensitive, sorry dear brother". Khalid rubbed Syafina's cheek with his left hand, while his right hand held the steering wheel.

"Thank you for giving me a child in your womb, just as we take care of our child, baby" Khalid rubbed his wife's stomach flat.

After arriving home Khalid could not bear to wake his wife, he carried her petite wife. Last Khalid covered Syafina

"You're so tired Fin, take a break baby let my baby rest too".

Khalid kissed his wife on the forehead, looked at her old face. Khalid became a smile of his own smile when he remembered first he only dared to look at Syafina from afar, even he was afraid of being discovered if trailing Syafina. She did not even know Syafina had a small mole on her forehead so she never looked close.
